I bought new socks, washed them and recently put them in the sump. Now there's a bunch of sock fiber debris floating around in the water. Is there something I should have done to prevent that? Opinions please.
Probably lint from other stuff in the tank, then. They are made of polypropylene felt. Just air dry them from now on. You probably haven't hurt anything. Corals look OK?
No live stock. I have been cycling for 2 weeks this Saturday. I'll be getting a shrimp and maybe a fish or gobby this Sunday. I'm setting up a FOWLR and all levels are at the money spot.
Bingo! you guessed it. Take a lent brush to get off all the fibers. Then I'd run some power heads to stir up whatever debris and let the filter sock catch it. I would also stir it up and do a large water change AFTER your cycle.
